working paper series

Abstract, primary coloured shapes

As part of our commitment to knowledge exchange, we publish and disseminate working paper series across a number of specialised areas.

These papers, which represent work by colleagues, research students and partners, are published to bring about discussion and to support and encourage new research and innovations across education settings.

The theme of these working papers reflect the projects annually funded by the Carnegie School of Education, through which we support the development of educational practices which are informed by relevant, rich and context-sensitive research. Each project is designed to support educational decision-making and create positive impacts for children and young people, professionals and communities.

The Carnegie Teacher Researchers are invited to produce a working paper series based on their work as emerging teacher researchers. The principle audience is other teachers and school leaders interested in how practice-based small-scale research can make a difference in supporting a range of professional practices and learning. These papers allow teachers to add their voices to the evidence base.

The working paper series for CollectivED has been established at the Carnegie School of Education to bring together practitioners and researchers engaging with the complexities of mentoring and coaching. We aim to connect ideas, people and practices; drawing on, and contributing to, research, scholarship and enquiry from a range of educational settings. We are interested in how coaching and mentoring can be used to support all learners, whether they are professionals, children and young people, leaders, governors or other partners.

The working paper series for LGBTQ+ inclusion in education explores issues and best practice related to the inclusion of those who identify as lesbian, gay, trans, queer or those who are questioning their identity. The series aims to illuminate the impact of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying on individuals and share approaches for fostering a culture of LGBTQ+ inclusion in education.

This working paper series explores whole school approaches for developing positive wellbeing in schools for all members of the school community. Themes cover specific aspects of mental health and papers provide practitioners with an opportunity to share and showcase effective practice in schools.

The collection of papers in this first volume demonstrate that schools and other organisations are already undertaking a significant amount of work to improve children and young people’s mental health. The papers reflect a variety of practices across a range of contexts.

The working paper series for Race and Education aims to publish papers from practitioners, post-graduates and academics in the field of education - schools, further education and higher education - on race and racism. For example, anti-racist pedagogy, decolonizing the curriculum, classroom dynamics, institutional anti-racist transformation, student achievement, community involvement, building educational pipelines and women/men of colour in institutional leadership.

The working paper series for special educational needs and / or disabilities in schools explores the barriers to learning, participation and achievement for learners with specific needs. It aims to illuminate best practice by sharing strategies to facilitate inclusion. In addition, the series also provides critical commentary and updates on SEND policy.

Story Makers Dialogues are intended to connect artistic practice, policy, education and research. They are written with a diverse audience in mind: artists, teachers, academics, students, children, members of grassroots and community organisations, advocates, influencers and policy makers at all levels.
